The key with these is that they’re all made to share… The tea bag and seed packets both have the URL for our find a group page, so if you hand these out at events then people can search and connect with your group.
Bringing people to do things together helps build kind, confident and connected communities. Growing in your patch does this, but some people don’t like getting stuck in down on the plot – or it might be chucking it down out there! Bringing people together to share a cuppa and get stuck in cutting out the templates and sticking them together is a great activity for young and old. And at the end of your sessions together you’ll have a stock of promotional materials to hand out at your next talk or community event.
Find someone with access to a printer, or have a chat with a local business who might print a few off for you, and to print out the templates. Each template has instructions. The seed bomb carrot is particularly fun for kids of all ages because it involves some colouring in – remember to always supervise kids when there are scissors around.
An Incredible Cup of Tea
How to make an “Incredible” brew using freshly pick herbs in 4 easy steps. All you need are some empty drawstring tea-bags (available online), fresh herbs and your choice of incredible tea tags.
- Pick & wash some fresh herbs from the garden. Mint is good, as it adds a fresh taste and lemon balm for its calming and relaxing properties.
- Take an empty tea bag or 2 and stuff them full of your chosen herbs, you can chop them with scissors to get more in.
- Add your Incredible tea tags! If you used glue to stick then together let your tags dry before using
- Place it in a cup, add boiling water and enjoy!
Why don’t you make a few and share with the public, as a fabulous talking point when you are out gardening. Maybe you could give them out at your next event or even have a “make your own tea-bag” activity – use the Incredible tea bag packets to keep your tea bags clean and safe.
And don’t forget to take photos of your Incredible tea bag activities and share on social media using #IECommunitea – we’d love to see what you’ve been up to!
